小作文：推荐信

Dear El,

It has been a long time since we had a chat last time. How have you been these days? Recently I watched a movie Braveheart on Netflix and thought you might love it as well. So I recommend this epic and historical movie to you.

The first reason is the protagonist William Wallace-a Scottish warrior-shows his perfect acting skills and real medieval life to the audiences. Second is that you are a big fan of history, so you will learn many historical backgrounds of conflicts between England and Scotland, which were fierce at that time. Last but not least, the film also advocates the spirit of freedom and the fight against unjust fate.

I hope you would enjoy the movie, and I am looking for your reply. Have a nice day!

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

大作文：谈环境

There are two youngsters, in this drawing, sitting on a boat who chatter and smoke happily. Surprisingly, lots of fishes are floating on the river due to the garbage chucked by them. Still, the rowing guide unexpectedly ignores their misbehavior and turns a blind eye to their actions as if nothing happened.

The cartoonist intends to illustrate that human activities have impaired nature. Over recent years, the continually improving standard of living has enabled Chinese people to patronize the increasingly popular tourism, which contributes a lot to historical sites and help local governments develop significantly. Yet the side effects should raise our concerns in that over-tourism has also exerted irreversible damage to the fragile environment, and the situation will deteriorate because of inaction and indifference.

In my viewpoint, the environmental protection brooks no delay, considering the critically undermined nature. Importantly, we should leave a clean one to posterity, so everyone must take action right now to better the environment, and the government, too, needs to formulate and implement policies to restrict over-tourism. Only in these ways can we embrace a prosperous, progressive, and promising outlook.

The Cultural Hotpot There is a hotpot standing in the middle of the picture, containing various kinds of food with different names such as swan lake, enlightenment, Confucianism, etc., as if all of them were mixing perfectly and harmoniously. The caption under the cartoon says: the cultural hot pot is both delicious and nutritious. The cartoon intends to illuminate that our culture is not an isolated island where folks only absorb things that they are familiar with. What we need to assimilate, however, is cultural features from different nations and various races. And by this means, the hotpot would be so delicious and nutritious that everyone in this society can relish what they have achieved eventually and can unconsciously affect each other afterward. In my viewpoint, diverse cultures enormously broaden ones’ horizons. In other words, whatever we are in touch with, it may provide a different way in which we see the world where there may be another treasure in an unnoticed corn...

与古典神话相关的词源

本期写一点关于古希腊罗马神话（Classical mythology）相关的词源故事，希望可以帮助大家更好地记住与之有关的单词。 1. Echo Echo 我们都知道是回声的意思。在希腊神话中，有个山岳仙女（Mountain nymph）也叫 Echo，她经常用美丽的声音，迷人的故事故意缠住好妒的赫拉（Hera，宙斯之妻），转移她的注意力，以便于宙斯（Zeus）可以趁机与其他仙女幽会。不料东窗事发，愤怒的赫拉让 Echo 失去了声音，作为惩罚。此后 Echo 只能重复别人所发出的声音，于是 Echo 一词进入英语之后就有了“回声”的意思。后来 Echo 遇到了 Narcissus（那耳喀索斯，又译作纳西瑟斯），他们俩一见钟情，可是因为 Echo 无法表达自己的爱意，她郁郁而终，最后只剩下声音回荡在山谷之中。 2. Narcissism Echo 喜欢的 Narcissus 正是 narcissism（自恋）的来源，他是个帅气到爱上自己的男子。传说他出生后，他的母亲向预言家提瑞西阿斯（Tiresias）询问自己儿子的命运。Tiresias说，Narcissus 只要不看到自己的脸，就能得长寿。因此，尽管 Narcissus 长大后成为全希腊最俊美的男子，他却从不知道自己长什么样子。 Narcissus 的美貌让全希腊的女性为之倾倒，但他对所有前来求爱的女人都无动于衷。被他拒绝的女子们都要求复仇女神 Nemesis（涅墨西斯）惩罚那耳喀索斯。Nemesis 同意了她们的请求。一次打猎归来时，他在池水中看见了自己俊美的脸，于是爱上了自己的倒影，无法从池塘边离开，终于憔悴而死。这样就实现了 Tiresias 在他幼年时所作出的预言。之后 Narcissus 也就成了自恋的代名词。 3. Nemesis Nemesis 是复仇女神，该词直接被用在了英语中，意为天谴，报应或者应得的失败。因为复仇女神是一位比较正面的形象，所以 nemesis 也是偏正面的，通常是坏人所得的惩罚。其中 Nem 作为 nemesis 的词根，意思是 distribute, assign（按照每个人的行为分配结果，好人好报，恶人恶报）。还有其他单词也源自于 nem，表示管理（arrange），分配（distribute）： autonomy anomy，a 表否定，不管理...

词根“duct”相关单词讲解

本期讲解词根 duct ，Duct在这篇博文中提到过，意为领导、引导（‘to lead’)，duct的原始词根为deuk（结尾辅音变化，不影响单词意思），本文的以下单词皆与该意思有关，不需要全部记忆，根据个人精力进行学习。 1. Duke 公爵。duke由deuk演化而来，两个词长得差不多，读音也差不多。公爵是领导一个地区的人，一个领导者。 Duchess，公爵夫人。 Duchy，duke的东西 => 公国。 Archduke，arch（大）+ duke，奥地利大公，位置比公爵高，低于国王。 Grand duke，也是大公，欧洲大陆国家常见，如：卢森堡大公，托斯卡纳大公。 Ducat，达克特，一种货币。字面意为：公爵的货币。 Ducal，duc + al，公爵的再补充一下欧洲贵族的英语，爵位按排序递减：侯爵，Marquis。Marq = mark，标记。标记在这里象征着领地的边界被mark了，侯爵负责管理标记内部的领地。伯爵，count（欧洲大陆国家使用），earl（英国）。子爵，viscount。vis (‘vice’) + count，vis可能大家不熟悉，看到Vice President，应该就知道了。vice意为代替（‘instead of, deputy’），子爵是在伯爵之下的爵位，所以加上了vis。男爵，baron，玩LOL的同学肯定知道。 2. Duct 导管，管道（如图所示），领导、引领水、石油和气到目标地点的东西。 Ductile，延展性。容易被引领的东西（easy to be led）=> 延展性。 Duction，引领。 3. Abduce 使肢体外展。away + lead，领出去。该单词已基本不用（ obsolete）。 Abduct，非常容易弄混，而且算常见，意为拐走（把别人的肢体领走）。 Abductor，诱拐者。 Abduction，诱拐的名词。该单词不包括卖这个意思，根据词根，不难理解其原因。 Adduct，还有一个意思，与abduce类似，是肢体外延（如图）。 Circumduct，肢体环回（如图）。 4. Adduce 意为引证。把其他地方的语言领过来。英英释义为： To give reasons why you think something is true. 5. Conduce 导致，有助于。 ...

考研高频单词讲解-6

很久没更新该系列了，今天写一篇。 46. private 私有的。在这篇博文提到过，这里展开说一说。 private来自于拉丁语 privus ，其中词根由 per 构成， per 和pro作为前缀的意思大致一样，都是 ‘forward’。因为 forward（向前），所以 be in the front（在前面），后来逐渐变为 be separate（被分隔开），最后变为私有的。通过private，可以推导出deprive（de ‘away from’ + prive，从私有的拿走）=> 剥夺。 Privateer: private的主动形式 => 私掠。 47. universe uni ‘one’ + verse ‘turn’。uni 这里已经说过，表示 “一”。一个转动的东西 => 宇宙，意思来源于古人对于星象的观察。由universe引申出来universal，意为全部的，具有普遍性的。 Multiverse：多重宇宙。Parallel universe：平行宇宙。 verse 是转的词根，volv是转动，有细微的不同，要注意区分。 48. approach 靠近，ad ‘表加强’ + prop ‘near’。靠近某个机构（如银行）=> 接洽事务。 We’ve just approached the bank for/about a loan. 同样可以表处理，因为靠近某个问题 => 处理问题。 I’m not sure how to approach the problem. 通过这一层意思，可以推理出另一个意思：（处理问题的）方式，方法，态度。 Since our research so far has not produced any answers to this problem, we need to adopt a different approach to it. 49. article 由 artus 演变而来，意为连接。Article就是连接起来的东西。这个单词不难，这里补充一个较难记忆的单词：articulate。 ate作为动词化后缀，所以articulate字面意思就是连接在一起。这一层意思进一步演化可以表示为表达（或发音）非常地流畅（单词连接在一起）。 They were unable ...

词根“volv”相关单词讲解

本期是具体解析词根的第一篇，先从volv讲起，因为这是我在文章中第一个提到的词根。希望大家能记住能够，然后更方便地背单词。本期主要讲解volv相关单词，volv(Latin)作为词根是拟声词，模仿旋转的声音，是从原始印欧语’ wel ’演化而来，不需要掌握wel，有个印象就行。 volv的作为词根以为“roll，turn around”，和旋转分不开，所以他的衍生词也都与旋转有关。注意vert（divert，convert）这个词根表示’turn’（转一次），而不是’turn around’（旋转）。本期大多单词为冷门低频词，虽说冷门，但是有很多是专业术语，相关专业同学应该比较了解。不过对于大多数人来说能有个印象就行，能记忆多少是多少，当作是词根记忆联想即可。 1. Voluble 健谈的，同义词：talkative, loquacious。由volv + able组成，字面义为能转的，可能是指说话人转动的舌头，或者是说话人滔滔不绝的状态。名词：Volubility。 2. Volume 意为“卷”，一开始是指书籍，第一卷，第二卷等。因为在书籍（有封面，页）出现之前，东西方人都用卷轴（scroll）写书或者作画（如图）。在书籍出现之后，之前volume的意思也保留了下来，虽然此时“卷”的意思已经不再明显。后来，volume的意思得到了拓展，还能指卷成的物体的体积，大小。再衍生出“音量”的意思，即为声音的大小。 voluminous，volume + ous（体积肥大的，卷帙浩繁的），都是讲过的意思，应该不难理解。 3. Volutation 意思和roll一样，由volutate（Latin） + ion合成。旋转的名词，比较冷门的一个词，不需要记忆。 4. Volute 意为，漩涡状的（adj.），涡形（n.）。注意并非是 Vol + ate组成的动词，而是由voluta（Latin）直接演变而来。 Volution：涡旋（n.），旋转。同样都是冷门词，应用场景较少。 5. Valve 阀门，不是value ！该词也和转有关，v社就是这个单词，搭配steam，很有感觉。 Valvo（沃尔沃）比喻轮子的转动。 6. Vault 保险柜，也和转有关（如图）。 7. Advolution 向某物发展，ad ‘toward’ + volv。向某个方向滚。 8....
